Carpinteria 17, Channel Islands 3
The Warriors dominated both ends of the pool in a blowout win over Channel Islands at home.
Carpinteria used a strong 5-0 first quarter to pull away early and cruise to the 14-goal victory.
“The Warriors used good defensive positioning at the center position to protect the interior area and the perimeter players cued in and provided pressure on the outside shooters,” Carpinteria coach Jon Otsuki said.
Hazel Dugre turned in a monster performance both offensively and defensively, leading the team with five goals and a whopping nine steals in just three quarters.
“Hazel was everywhere, even when she wasn’t near the action she appeared out of nowhere to put her hand on the ball,” Otsuki said. “Hazel could have put together an all-time stat sheet but instead distributed the ball unselfishly to get her teammates involved.”
While Dugre was a standout on the scoresheet, plenty of Warriors got involved in the big win. Caden Lemere scored four goals, Ruby Cluderay registered a trio of scores and Mina Handall scored twice.
Meanwhile, Sara Fakinos, Kim Ocampo and Jade Rochlizer each scored one goal.
Carpinteria (12-6, 5-1 CCL) will take on Nordhoff on Thursday.
